Symphony
Didier Marouani & Paris-France Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

O Freunde, nicht diese Töne!
Sondern lasst uns angenehmere anstimmen,
Und freudenvollere.

Freude, schöner Götterfunken
Tochter aus Elysium
Wir betreten feuertrunken
Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!
Deine Zauber binden wieder
Was die Mode streng geteilt
Alle Menschen werden Brüder
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt

Wem der große Wurf gelungen
Eines Freundes Freund zu sein
Wer ein holdes Weib errungen
Mische seinen Jubel ein!
Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele
Sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund!
Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehle

Weinend sich aus diesem Bund!

Freude trinken alle Wesen
An den Brüsten der Natur
Alle Guten, alle Bösen
Folgen ihrer Rosenspur
Küsse gab sie uns und Reben
Einen Freund, geprüft im Tod
Wollust ward dem Wurm gegeben
und der Cherub steht vor Gott

Froh, wie seine Sonnen fliegen
Durch des Himmels prächt'gen Plan
Laufet, Brüder, eure Bahn
Freudig, wie ein Held zum siegen

Seid umschlungen, Millionen!
Diesen Kuß der ganzen Welt!
Brüder, über'm Sternenzelt
Muß ein lieber Vater wohnen
Ihr stürzt nieder, Millionen?
Ahnest du den Schöpfer, Welt?
Such' ihn über'm Sternenzelt!
Über Sternen muß er wohnen

Ode to Joy

O friends, no more these sounds!
Rather let us strike up more pleasing
And more joyful ones!

Joy, beautiful spark of Divinity
Daughter from Elysium
We enter, drunk with fire
Heavenly One, thy sanctuary!
Your magic binds again
What convention strictly divided
All people become brothers
Where your gentle wing abides

Who has succeeded in the great attempt
To be a friend's friend
Whoever has won a lovely woman
Add his to the jubilation!
Indeed, who even just has one soul
To call his own in this world!
And whoever never managed, he should steal away
Crying from this union!

All creatures drink of joy
At the nature's breasts
All Just Ones, all Evil Ones
Follow her trail of roses
Kisses she gave us and grapevines
A friend, proven in death
Salaciousness was given to the worm
And the cherub stands before God

Gladly, like His suns fly
through the heavens' grand plan
Go on, brothers, your way
Joyful, like a hero to victory

Be embraced, Millions!
This kiss to all the world!
Brothers, above the starry canopy
There must dwell a loving Father
Are you collapsing, millions?
Do you sense the creator, world?




Seek him above the starry canopy!
Above stars must He dwell
